Productivity in Postsecondary Education: A New Approach.

Massy, William F.; Wilger, Andrea K.

Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v14 n4 p361-76 Win 1992

A conceptual structure is developed for examining college and university productivity, and an explanation is proposed for why productivity has declined. It is argued that much of the problem results from the shift of faculty effort toward research and professional activity and away from undergraduate teaching. (Author/SLD)
